It seems like that and the food you can only buy online..I'm going to be going to the store(Petco) tomorrow and I need to know if those two items you can get in store, if not I would love to get some more suggestions on food, water conditioner and some plants too maybe. Thanks guys (:

And I'll look for the Prime Water as well, if they don't have that is anything that's considered second best?

API products are decent :) The reason that Prime is considered so superior to other water conditioners is because it is the only one that can convert ammonia and nitrites into less harmful substances (which still need to be manually removed of course). It's worth the money to buy it online if you can find a site with free shipping.

I'll be purchasing all of that tomorrow and will be getting the fish the next day, that'll give the tank enough time to cyle with the conditioner in before placing in the fish. I heard with the Seachem you can't just put the fish in immediately any how.

A 10 gallon with a whisper filter I believe? I don't remember what the name brand was but I did buy the filter from Petco. The tank didn't come with the filter, hood or anything so I had to buy everything separate. ;_;

Lol yeah that's pretty typical, they either come in a full kit or you get nothing but the actual tank. If you haven't opened up the box for the filter yet I would highly recommend returning it and getting a sponge filter connected to an air pump with adjustable flow instead. This isn't totally necessary but bettas can be sensitive to filter flow, and if you picked up the kind that sits mostly underwater they can get their fins sucked into the intake and cut up. I bought all Whisper filters when I first started keeping bettas and I wish I hadn't wasted my money.

Every Petco I have been to has Prime. It's not by the Betta supplies, it's usually with other fish stuff. They also almost certainly have the Omega One Betta Buffet pellets. Again, these may not be in the betta area, go look for an aisle that has TONS of fish stuff. You'll usually find aquarium salt, etc in that area as well.
